Anyone searching for a Jackson County transfer station near Edna should read this first. The county's own pages place its transfer station and recycling centre at 205 County Road 4141, Ganado, Texas 77962, not on County Road 414 at Edna. The road number and the town in older directory listings are both wrong, and Ganado sits some miles east of Edna, so the difference matters on the day.

The county publishes one schedule for the site: Tuesday through Saturday, 9:00am to 5:00pm. It is closed Sunday and Monday. Holiday closures are posted separately through the quick links on the county's home page rather than on the facility page, so check there around public holidays.

The facility combines a transfer station, where household waste is consolidated before being hauled on to a landfill, with a recycling centre on the same site. That pairing is common in rural Texas counties and it means one trip can cover both an ordinary rubbish load and separated recyclables, provided the recyclables are sorted before you arrive.

No fee schedule is published by the county for either function, and no minimum charge or payment method is stated. We are not printing a figure we cannot read off a county page. Ring the county before loading, and ask four things: whether the gate charges by weight, by yard or by the load; what the smallest charge is on a pickup load or light trailer; whether cards are taken or it is cash only, which is common at rural stations of this size; and whether proof of Jackson County residency is required, since many county-run stations restrict use to residents and turn away everyone else.

One caution on other sources. A commercially operated Jackson Transfer Station appears in national waste directories, and it is a different facility in a different state. Do not use its hours or its prices for this site.
